As you can see, desipte recent down-turns in the market, Google Inc. continues to gain ground while others haven’t been so lucky. Regardless of Google’s gains, the one thing to note is that the majority of these stocks have held their ground with the exception of Seaboard Coproration (traditionally, one of the market’s best small caps).
Overall, if you were holding these stocks as your portfolio, you would be up +12.53% over the last two weeks, or an average of +1.25% per position. Numerically speaking, if you have invested $1Mil across this group of stocks, you would have gross earnings of $125,000 over the last two weeks (average $8928.57 per day) before capital gains and trading fees.The important thing to remember is that Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) as a whole has seen a +.50% gain since October 19th, or a .03% per day gain and these 10 stocks are beating the average.
We will be tracking these same stocks every two weeks for the rest of the year to see how they perform against the average.

Of coure Google is leading the way out of the top 10 stocks. It’s only a matter of time before Google is in the top 5.

Google has still a long way to go to be in the top 5. I’m sure some rich investors or corporations have made money esp with
Berkshire Hathaway Inc, over 4% change can really make a good profit.
by C4G
Google is headed for a major downgrade from the analysts. there’s no way thir stock can hold much moving forward.
